We had a lot of fun making this rain barrel on a cloud day in May. We since have cut the hose the runs from the downspout to make it shorter, so the rain can run in easier. I also suggest using 2 levels on cinder blocks in order to fit a watering can underneath.

Paint the bucket to keep out the sunlight no algea growth
